rad.ObjDrwOpenGL problem!

[aliramezanimoghaddam]

Hi there,
I have a problem to open the 3D geometry in Linux. I have been received this error message : " Runtime Error: This function is not implemented on that platform." , In windows it runs without any problem.

I am sure the OpenGL is installed in our server Linux (RH) and I have checked it with "glxgears" command!

Any comments!?

Hello @aliramezanimoghaddam,

Another option you may consider for running Radia on Linux is to use the RadiaSoft Jupyter server, which is freely available at
https://www.sirepo.com Click the 'Supported Codes' dropdown menu and select 'Jupyter'.

Radia is already installed, so you can immediately test the Python interface to see if your problem is present on our system.

RadiaSoft personnel have been translating the Python examples into Jupyter notebooks, which give many of the same interactive capabilities that Mathematica provides. We are also developing 3-D interactive graphics capabilities which are accessible via Jupyter notebooks.

The Jupyter notebooks are available in GitHub:
https://github.com/radiasoft/Radia-Examples

To access a GitHub repository on Jupyter, open a terminal session and type

git clone https://github.com/radiasoft/Radia-Examples.git

For example, have a look at the Radia_Ex05.ipynb notebook which allows solving and visualization of the Example 5 dipole.

Sincerely,
David

It is just "under-programmed" a bit. ObjDrwOpenGL uses OpenGL via "Glut", which is kind of obsolete now (though still exists). >20 years ago, I implemented this function on Windows, and since that time look for a motivated and knowledgeable Linux C++ programmer to port it to Linux.:)

Thanks Oleg,

I think it is more easy to check the 3D structure in windows and then run in on Linux :)!

Yea, that's what I'm doing all the time: create and fine-tune a simulation script on Windows, and then increase segmentation and run it on Linux server.:) But we may still try to do something with this OpjDrwOpenGL, besides using this other way that was mentioned by David - working with Jupyter Notebooks and eventually with Sirepo, and use ObjDrwVTK that was implemented recently.
